im using 7-zip i press extract to dload type in mercury it starts to extract then i get crc failed in encrpypted file dload\UPDATE.APP'wrong password? i try the second file and get data error in encrypted

ok you're gonna have to put all the files on your computer, multi select all of them at the same time and select extract. otherwise it won't work. it's how the part files work. i wouldn't recomend extracting it inside the mercury, but on a win-based computer.

Will do...hopefully tomorrow. I'm just worried about the 3G thing. But I wonder if I can get Google Chrome now. Oh and are you still rooted?

i did a stock update, so i wasn't rooted when i did this. as for the 3g thing, i'm not sure what happened, he might have just hit a dead zone at the same time the update was done (bad timing). i haven't seen any real major issues. a few small gui issues that are easily ignored. i'm going to attempt to root my phone again, i need titanium backup. lol

i already put the folder ''dload'' in the sd card and every time i put the upgrade from sd card it just reboots the phone normally .... nothing happens could you please help me here.... does my phone need to be rooted or what ? I just dont know how to do it ... please help me

that's what i did yea. lol though i'm not minding stock much either. the widgets are in the drawer which is incredible. the recovery doesn't matter either way it goes to whatever recovery they had in the first place. also i think it may reset your phone no matter the rom you have installed and remove root (that's what it sounded like others were saying).

So...if I use Oriaxs fast unroot, then install...I'll be fine? If not, how did you do it? Because you seem to be having the most success.

actually what i did instead of that was went ahead and just installed the stock rom.http://www.cricketusers.com/cricket-...-5-2012-a.html
i don't think it had root installed, i just wiped everything, installed this via the recovery and was good to go. only issue i had was i ended up with the blue screen (basically bricked) so it took me a bit longer to recover from the situation.
if that somehow happens to you there is a fix posted here http://www.cricketusers.com/cricket-...death-fix.html
i'd had that happen before so i didn't end up panicking (oriax helped me through it the first time it happened to me).
i'm not sure if you need to wipe everything for the recovery, BUT he did say that you needed to wipe data after you do the recovery. i just happened to do it before and after. that's how i unrooted lol.
you don't need to wipe your sd card obviously, saying that just in case you accidently overthink it.
i've been having no troubles with the update so far.
i got some mms as well. i'm going to try out the portable tethering next. i'll update the op as i confirm everything works.

Just to sum up...download stock rom...install it like Id install any other rom (inside cwm)...go back to the main menu on cwm, hit the wipe data thing and reboot? Am I missed anything?

yup that's basically it. lol
and as i said for some reason the recovery started to act up on me so i couldn't install anything in it and i already had wiped recovery lol so i got the blue screen lol.
that's why i put that fix there for you. :P
what tags should i add to this post? when i type in mercury it doesn't show up on there with the other mercury posts. and yes i have that tagged. this is my first tutorial so i'm looking for a few small pointers.

sorry, i got too excited and started over thinking, but i cant unzip these files on my computer so im using my phone and trying to find the right app that will let me extract them all at the same time. i extracted only one at first, and nothing happened

I changed the link to a better suited one that only has one download instead of 8. on your computer download and install winrar or 7-zip to decompress it.

i already put the folder ''dload'' in the sd card and every time i put the upgrade from sd card it just reboots the phone normally .... nothing happens could you please help me here.... does my phone need to be rooted or what ? I just dont know how to do it ... please help me

hey i'm really sorry, i didn't realize there was a post back here asking for help. did you figure everything out or do you still need help? did you get the upgrade installed? did the dload have any folders inside of it? if the dload had another folder in it called dload, you'd need to move the dload folder out of the dload folder in order for it to work. if you only had the files without the dload folder it would not work either. they need to be on the root of your sdcard, meaning it should be sdcard/dload/
